Dear Students, Warm greetings to all the students of Sree Narayana College, Chathannur, a college established in 1981, in the devout memory of Sree Narayana Guru. I would like to welcome once again all the new students of our institution. I look forward to exciting academic environment where the hidden potential of all you are woken up fully and you upgrade yourself with knowledge, skills and attitudes relevant to the new world. The teaching community is here to catalyse your transformation to happy, powerful, successful and socially-committed citizens of our great country. With your co-operation, I have no doubt that we can achieve this. I hope you will appreciate that an institution of higher learning is very different from a school. You are responsible learners. College is a partner in your learning efforts. The college sets up an intellectually stimulating environment, provides highly trained and qualified teachers to educate you, lead you, inspire you and also influence you on moral and ethical values. SNC also provides you with high class infrastructure. Apart from all this, our sprawling green campus set in a village atmosphere also ensures platforms for youthful creativity, fun and frolic. The moments you spend in the college are sure to be etched in your memory with a golden aura in the years to come. The academic system of our State is undergoing a massive change with the implementation of the Four Year Undergraduate Programme (FYUGP). Every change comes with inevitable teething problems, but we are doing our best to make this transformation successful. I request the cooperation of students and parents in this regard. It is of special significance that the leading light of our college is a great Guru, who was a saint, poet, philosopher, a teacher par excellence and a social reformer, all rolled into one. I would like to invite your attention to the Guru’s wisdom about education, that it should affect your head, heart and hand. If all students are able to imbibe this great wisdom of the prophet of “one caste, one religion and one god”, I am very sure our institution will soon be showered with glory from the actions and contributions of our students. Dear students, tie the horses of critical thinking, creativity, knowledge, hard-work and happiness to the chariot of your aspirations. And then, look up and aim for the stars. My best wishes to all of you.
